At this moment, the chauffeur had already started the car and did not notice the situation behind. By the time the man rushed over, the car had already driven away.
Qiao Xi seemed to have noticed something and subconsciously turned her head to see the man's face through the car window.
Her pupils constricted!
The blood in Qiao Xi's entire body instantly froze, and she could not help but widen her eyes. His face was exactly the same as the man in her dream!
That man was even more mature than in her dream, but Qiao Xi was very sure that they were the same person. After a few years, he was naturally more mature.
Song Shijing asked tentatively, "Young Madam, do you want to stop the car?"
Qiao Xi turned around and looked at the man who was anxiously running over from outside the window. She replied coldly, "There's no need."
The car quickly drove away, and Qiao Xi clearly saw the scar on the man's forehead.
The location of the scar was exactly the same. It seemed that her dream was indeed real. This man was the one who took her blood.
Gu Zheng's gaze turned cold. Clearly, he had also seen that man.
"Who are they?" Qiao Xi asked.
Song Shijing hesitated for a moment and replied respectfully, "Young Madam, please wait a moment. I'll investigate now."
There were only two families in the vicinity, so it should not be difficult to investigate this family. Song Shijing called and got the news. His expression was a little strange. "Young Madam, they're… nobles from Y Nation."
Qiao Xi's heart trembled as she had an inexplicable feeling.
"It's the earl of Y Nation. A few years ago, the head of the family passed the title to his son. It's that young man just now. His surname is Kang."
Earl? Kang?
Qiao Xi suddenly recalled the news from the shadow guards' investigation. Before Madam Tan went to Li City, she had met Earl Kang. Moreover, this earl had a weak and sickly younger sister.
If they were just Madam Tan's supporters, Qiao Xi would not care. However, this man was exactly the same as the man in her dream. He ordered others to take her blood, but he still had to say with a sad expression, 'I'm sorry, Xi Xi. I have no choice. Rest well. I'll come and see you again.'
Qiao Xi's expression was slightly cold. "Investigate and see if he's been to Li City."
"I need to contact Song Shiyu. We'll inform Young Madam immediately."
"Alright." The corners of Qiao Xi's mouth curled into a gloomy smile.
As soon as the plane landed, Song Shiyu called. "President, Young Madam, we've already investigated Mr. Kang. His name is Kang Jichuan. He was born in Y Nation and lost his mother when he was young. His father is deeply in love with his wife and has never remarried. Kang Jichuan has a younger sister who has been weak and sick since she was young. She rarely interacts with the outside world and has to be hospitalized from time to time. Hence, very few people have seen Miss Kang.
"I heard that Mr. Kang has a gentle temper and is a vegetarian. He often goes into seclusion to pray for his deceased mother and seriously ill sister."
"Seclusion?" Qiao Xi was slightly surprised.
Song Shiyu said, "Yes, according to the information, Mr. Kang has been doing it since four to five years ago. The culture of Y Nation and C Nation is similar, so it's normal for him to go into seclusion to pray for blessings. I heard that he takes a few days off every month to go into seclusion."
Qiao Xi immediately realized the coincidental timing. The scene from that dream was about four to five years ago.
After hanging up, Qiao Xi immediately contacted the people from Ling Pavilion and instructed them to keep an eye on Kang Jichuan.
Qiao Xi knew that the mystery of the dream was about to be solved. Kang Jichuan was the man in her dream. He took her blood to save a woman. Coincidentally, Kang Jichuan had a weak and sickly younger sister. In other words, it was very likely that that woman was his younger sister.
Before Madam Tan came to Li City, she had met Mr. Kang and Miss Kang. When Kang Jichuan saw her just now, he was very excited and chased after the car.
When Qiao Xi thought about this, she suddenly sneered.
Went into seclusion to pray for blessings? How laughable!
What Qiao Xi did not tell Gu Zheng was that at the end of the dream, her entire body was surrounded by cold seawater. A suffocating feeling swept through her entire body. Her entire body was weak, and she could only close her eyes helplessly.
Perhaps that man had taken her blood but was afraid that if the matter was exposed, there would be trouble, so he simply tried to kill her. However, after doing such a cruel thing, he could not endure the guilt and torture in his heart, so he went into seclusion every month to pray for blessings.
It might not be appropriate to say that he was in seclusion to pray for blessings. It should be atonement. He hoped that the dead could forgive him so that he could avoid the condemnation in his heart.
Just as Qiao Xi was deep in thought, her phone vibrated. It was a voice message from Xue Liang.
"Little Six, I have something to tell you."
